My background: 15 years of programming experience, but not in object oriented languages. The last 6 to 8 months I have spent learning
java.
I have read 3 or 4 java introductory and intermediate books and believe I have a handle on its syntax and general use.
Is there a book someone can recommend that does the following:
Takes a problem/project of some difficulty and takes you step by step from design to code.
The books format would be:
1. Project A - description
Project A - uml/boxes/line design
Project A - skeleton coding
Project A - deletailed coding
2. Project B.....
Here are some examples off the top of my head:
1. Build a project that is an application that will recreate a simple checkbook with a register and report writing capabilities.
2. Build a client/server system that will have a web page that records "membership" information and the last time they have logged into the website.
3. Build an
applet that mimics the game of mindsweep.
I am looking for a book that shows how the author would "break down" a problem into different tasks and how he would code his/her java files to complete the project.
Thanks for your recommendations.
